(Southwest Oklahoma) – The Territory Golf and Country Club, an award-winning residential community near the town of Duncan, will play host to some of the region’s top collegiate golfers at The Territory Classic Sept. 21 and 22.
The Territory is no stranger to major tournaments. In just its first five years of play, the Randy Heckenkemper design has hosted the Oklahoma State Amateur twice, Oklahoma Senior State Amateur, an NCAA Div. II Super Regional and a stop on the Adams Pro Golf Tour Series.
“We look forward to seeing how these incredible collegiate golfers handle the many intricacies and nuances here at The Territory,” says Rick Braught, who along with his wife Barbara, owns the club.
In addition to host Cameron University, participating schools include: Abilene Christian, University of Central Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, East Central University, Arkansas Tech University, Texas A&M Commerce, West Texas A&M University, University of the Southwest, Southern Nazarene University, Dallas Baptist University, St. Edwards University, Delta State University, University of Incarnate Word and St. Mary’s University.
The modified target-style layout, which features multiple tees to accommodate any skill level, was named a Top 50 Residential Course by Golfweek and has been designated as one of Oklahoma’s best courses by Golf Digest. A state-of-the-art practice facility and three-hole short course where the teaching professionals conduct instruction for those looking to improve their game, also set The Territory apart.
A private club where family-friendly activities are ever present, The Territory has opened its fairways to all via its popular stay-and-play packages. The luxurious, graciously appointed accommodations feature two-to-four spacious bedrooms, a living room, full kitchen and baths. Package pricing per person is:
Single: $275 per night
Double: $225 per night
Triple: $195 per night
Foursome: $175 per night

About The Territory
Prospector’s Ridge, Phase I of the residential development at The Territory, is in the early stages of development. Prices of lots available range from $61,000 to $138,000. If a similar, high-quality property like The Territory were located in the nearby Dallas-Fort Worth area it would likely cost three times as much.
With five sets of tees – ranging from 4,845 to 7,110 yards – the modified target-golf course offers playability and enjoyment to players of all ages and skill levels. The greens are an A1-A4 creeping bentgrass blend, the tees, fairways and roughs are Tifsport Bermudagrass and native vegetation frames the playing corridors.
Located on the historic Chisholm Trail, The Territory is within a short drive of lakes for boating and fishing and mere minutes from a pair of schools, shopping, dining and churches. In addition, Duncan Regional Hospital was named to the Solucient Top 100 Hospitals list – a study of more than 3,000 hospitals that identifies industry benchmarks by recognizing U.S. hospitals that have achieved excellence in quality of care, operational efficiency, financial performance and adaptation to the environment.
Owners Rick and Barbara Braught – members of the McCasland Oil family – are graduates of the University of Oklahoma and remain active through university fund raising, support and holding season tickets to Sooner athletic events. Barbara (BA 1986, MBA 1990) is the granddaughter of T.H. McCasland – the founder of Mack Oil Company – and serves as Executive Director of the McCasland Foundation, while Rick (BBA 1984, MBA 1989) oversees numerous companies.
